FIELD

This disclosure relates to pole bases, specifically to light pole basecabinets that can house items.

BACKGROUND

Currently, light poles are installed on footings that protrude wellabove grade. For example, a hole is dug into the ground to a specifieddepth. A rebar cage is then placed in the hole and electrical conduitsrouted therethrough. A tube or similar structure is placed around therebar cage and concrete is poured in. The concrete sets to establish aconcrete footing above grade. A pole supporting a light source ismounted to the top of the concrete footing and electrical wiring isrouted through the electrical conduits to provide electrical power tothe light source. The concrete footing has the limited purpose ofproviding structural support. As society continues to progress, moreadaptability and utility is desirable beyond providing structuralsupport. Accordingly, pole base solutions that address at least some ofthese challenges are desirable.

SUMMARY

Neither the preceding summary nor the following detailed descriptionpurports to limit or define the scope of protection. The scope ofprotection is defined by the claims.

As society's needs change, it can be desirable to adapt a lighting poleand/or footing upon which the footing is mounted to include additionalfeatures or be adapted for multiple purposes. Currently, the concretefootings upon which light poles are mounted do not offer the capabilityto accommodate additional features and/or storage for supporting thoseadditional features. The concrete footings cannot readily be adaptedbecause the footing and light pole are structurally designed to meetspecific demands or requirements, such as environmental, safety,load-bearing, code, and/or other requirements. In some cases,accessories, such as a camera for surveillance, are included during theinstallation of a lighting pole and footing. Wiring for said accessoriesis sometimes routed through any existing electrical conduits orexternally, but due to a lack of space, connections, components, and/orsupportive technology are externally mounted onto the footing and/orlight pole.

Second Pole Base Cabinet Configuration—FIGS. 11-17

With reference to FIGS. 11-17 , a pole base cabinet, casing, housing,enclosure, locker 300 is described. Pole base cabinet 300 can includesubstantially the same or similar features described or shown herein inreference to other configurations of pole base cabinets. Similarlynumbered features can be the same or similar.

As shown in FIG. 11 , a pole 301 can be mounted onto the pole basecabinet 300 to support a light source 303 at an elevated height. Thepole base cabinet 300 can have a cavity in which items can be stored. Adoor 302 can be opened and/or closed, such as releasably coupled, toobstruct or provide access to the cavity. The pole base cabinet 300 canbe secured to a footing, base 360. Specifically, the pole base cabinet300 can be coupled to anchors 362 extending into the footing 360. In aconfiguration, the anchors 362 can be coupled to or retained by rebar364 in the footing 360. The footing 360 can be positioned at, proximate,above, and/or below grade 366.

As shown in FIG. 12 , the pole base cabinet 300 can have a top or firstplate, disc, sheet 304. The top plate 304 can have a periphery 330 thatis circular, as shown in FIG. 13 , or polygonal, irregular, and/orothers. The top plate 304 can have a plurality of apertures 312, whichcan include two, three, four, five, six, or more apertures 312. Theapertures 312 can have a circular, polygonal, irregular, and/or othershape. The aperture 312 can be elongate with rounded ends. The apertures312 can all be the same or having varying shapes and/or sizes. Theapertures 312 can be arranged in different configurations. For example,the apertures 312 can cooperate to form a square with each aperture 312forming a corner thereof. The apertures 312 can cooperate to form acircular, polygonal, irregular, and/or other shape depending on whatconfiguration is required or desired to couple to a corresponding polebase and/or is needed for structural integrity. The apertures 312 can beused to secure the top plate 204 to a pole base, such as a pole baseplate, which can include utilizing bolts. The apertures 312 can beoversized relative to a bolt that will extend therethrough. Havingover-sized apertures 312 relative to the bolt can be advantageous forconvenient alignment. Apertures 312 can be oversized relative tocorresponding apertures of a pole base or pole base plate, which can beadvantageous for convenient alignment.

The top plate 304 can have an opening 310. The opening 310 can used toallow wiring, cords, optical fibers, and/or other devices through thetop plate 304 and into and/or out of a cavity of the pole base cabinet300. The opening 310 can be centrally located. In a configuration, theopening 310 can be located at any position on the top plate 304. Theopening 310 can have a circular, polygonal, irregular, and/or othershape. In a configuration, a periphery defining the opening 310 can berounded to reduce abrasion on devices extending therethrough. In aconfiguration, a periphery defining the opening 310 can be coated orcovered with a non-abrasive material to reduce abrasion on devicesextending therethrough. In a configuration, the apertures 312 can bedistributed around the opening 310, which can include circumferentiallyor radially distributed. In a configuration, the opening 310 can belocated centered relative to the plurality of apertures 312. The opening310 can be larger than each of the apertures 312.

For example, as shown in FIG. 14 , a pole base plate 305 can bepositioned on the top plate 304. An aperture 312 of the top plate 304can be aligned with a corresponding aperture of the pole base plate,base plate 305. A bolt 374 can extend through the aperture 312 of thetop plate 304 and the corresponding aperture of the pole base plate 305.A washer 373 can be positioned between the head of the bolt 374 and thetop plate 304. The washer 373 can protect the top plate 304 and/orenable the apertures 312 to be oversized relative to the head of thebolt 374 for at least the advantages explained above. A first nut 370can be secured on the end of the bolt 374 proximate the pole base plate305 to securely couple the top plate 304 and pole base plate 305together. A second nut 372 can be secured on the end of the bolt 374proximate the first nut 370 to securely couple the top plate 304 andpole base plate 305 together. A washer 371 can be positioned between thefirst nut 370 and the pole base plate 305. The washer 371 can be usedfor similar advantages as detailed for the washer 373. Any othersuitable fasteners and fastener system may be used.

As shown in FIG. 12 , the pole base cabinet 300 can have a bottom orsecond plate, disc, sheet 306. The bottom plate 306 can have a periphery332 that is circular, as shown in FIG. 15 , or polygonal, irregular,and/or others. The bottom plate 306 can have a plurality of apertures354, which can include two, three, four, five, six, or more apertures354. The apertures 354 can have a circular, polygonal, irregular, and/orother shape. In a configuration, the apertures 354 can be elongate withrounded ends. In a configuration, the apertures 354 can be the same asor similar to the apertures 312. The apertures 354 can all be the sameor having varying shapes and/or sizes. The apertures 354 can be arrangedin different configurations. For example, the apertures 354 cancooperate to form a square with each aperture 354 forming a cornerthereof. The apertures 354 can cooperate to form a circular, polygonal,irregular, and/or other shape depending on what configuration isrequired or desired to couple to a corresponding pole base and/or isneeded for structural integrity. The apertures 354 can be used to securethe bottom plate 306 to the footing 360.

The bottom plate 306 can have an opening 311. The opening 311 can usedto allow wiring, cords, optical fibers, and/or other devices through thebottom plate 306 and into and/or out of the cavity 320 of the pole basecabinet 300. For example, wiring and/or cables can be routed throughconduits in a footing or base upon which the pole base cabinet 300 ismounted and extend through the opening 311 and into the cavity. Thewiring and/or cables can be used to supply electrical power tocomponents/items stored in the cavity, components/items stored outsidethe cavity, and/or a light source mounted on a pole that is coupled tothe pole base cabinet 300. The opening 311 can be centrally located. Ina configuration, the opening 311 can be located at any position on thebottom plate 306. The opening 311 can have a circular, polygonal,irregular, and/or other shape. In a configuration, a periphery definingthe opening 311 can be rounded to reduce abrasion on devices extendingtherethrough. In a configuration, a periphery defining the opening 311can be coated or covered with a non-abrasive material to reduce abrasionon devices extending therethrough. In a configuration, the apertures 354can be distributed around the opening 311, which can includecircumferentially or radially distributed. In a configuration, theopening 311 can be located centered relative to the plurality ofapertures 354. The opening 311 can be larger than each of the apertures354. The opening 311 can be the same as or different than the opening310. In a configuration, the opening 311 is larger than the opening 310.

The top plate 304 and the bottom plate 306 can be offset and/or parallelfrom each other. The top plate 304 and the bottom plate 306 can defineends and/or opposing ends of the pole base cabinet 300. The top plate304 and the bottom plate 306 can be flat. In a configuration, the topplate 304 and the bottom plate 306 can include recesses, curves, and/orcontours. The top plate 304 and the bottom plate 306 can be positionedon a center-longitudinal axis of the pole base cabinet 300. The topplate and the bottom plate 306 can be centered on a center-longitudinalaxis of the pole base cabinet 300. In a configuration, the top plate 304can be the same as the bottom plate 306. This can be advantageous whenmore wiring or cables are directed into the cavity through the bottomplate 306 than out of the cavity through the top plate 306. In aconfiguration, the top plate 304 does not have an opening 310 and/or thebottom plate 306 does not have an opening 311.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 , the bottom plate 306 can be coupled to thefooting 360. The footing can have an anchor 362 with a portion of theanchor 362 extending out of the footing 360. The anchor 362 can extendthrough one of the apertures 354 of the bottom plate 306. Anintermediate layer 380 can be positioned between the bottom plate 306and the footing 360. The intermediate layer 380 can be grout, which caninclude a non-shrink grout. A first nut 378 can be secured on the anchor362 to securely couple the bottom plate 306 to the footing 360. A washer382 can be positioned between the first nut 378 and the bottom plate306. A second nut 376 can be secured on the anchor 362 to securelycouple the bottom plate 306 to the footing 360. The level of the polebase cabinet 300 can be adjusted by adjusting each of the nuts to behigher or lower. In a configuration, the level of the pole can beadjusted in a similar manner.

The pole base cabinet 300 can have a peripheral wall, side, surface 308,which can also be referred to as a skin and/or wall 308. The peripheralwall 308 can extend and/or be coupled to, which can include directly,rigidly, or fixedly connected, from the top plate 304 to the bottomplate 306.
